Bucs crush Saints in first SCC match

September 8, 2013

The Blue Earth Area girls tennis team was enjoying a good start to their season, sporting a 7-1 record. But, they had yet to face a South Central Conference opponent this year.

That changed on Thursday afternoon when the Buccaneers hosted the St. Peter Saints at Schroeder Courts in Blue Earth.

The Bucs flexed their muscles and downed the Saints by a score of 6-1 to give them a 1-0 start in SCC actions and boost the season record to 8-1.

Karleigh Wolff started things off right for the Buccaneers by coming back for a hard-fought victory at the No. 1 singles position over her opponent, Rachel Huber.

Wolff lost the first set 7-5, then battled to a thrilling win in the second set, 7-6 (7-2). She completed the come-from-behind win by taking the third set 6-3.

At No. 2 singles, Kaitlyn Olsen defeated Val Bresnahan by a score of 6-0, 6-3. Lindsey Prokop won by the same scores only reversed, 6-3, 6-0, over her Saint's opponent, Katie Sandquist at No. 3 singles.
